Girl Mistaken for Cute/Handsome Boy Compliment or Not?

Would you consider it a compliment or not for a girl to be mistaken as a cute/handsome boy, why or why not (please also tell if your perspective is a guy or girl perspective)? I felt like asking this in part, because of the HanaKimi drama... but also because in real life I've had some girl friends who had short hair and could be mistaken as a cute boy.

TOTALLY A COMPLIMENT!! (girl's point of view btw). I have short hair myself and i've got mistaken for a boy before i cut my hair. Actually it's a very funny story! Haha! I feel like telling it now!

I went to Russia over the sammur last year and i wore a beany hat cuz it was kinda cold the whole summer, and my hair was a tottal mess!!! it was sooo crazy i couldn't really bruch it, so when i put on my hat i looked like a skater, and so, we went to this resort to stay for a week and my friend (which is a guy and 3 years younger then me and about a foot shorter then me, and his hair was fairly long, kinda like skater hair, and it was like all flowy and all, kinda like a girl's hair. haha!) and we came to this little market and we were holding hands, just because lol, and we came up to this lady and I was like 'um, excuse me, but do you have *some sort of food* by any chance?' and i was losing my voice that day, and when i lose my voice it sounds like a guy's voice, and the woman was like 'no sorry, we don't have that anymore.' and then out of nowhere she was like 'is that your girlfriend? You don't look like you're from here, better keep her safe' and she said that to me! and i was like 'huh? oh, that's my friend' and she was like 'well, you're a kind young man. make sure you keep her safe though.' and my friend and i looked at each other and were like 'i'm a girl ma'am' and my friend was like 'and i'm a boy' and the woman didn't believe us so she started laughing and called us liars lmao!!!

hahah! well, i didn't mind being mistaken for a boy, i guess i'm look good enough to be both hahahah!

well if peopel are saying you look like a cute boy than a compliment...
If some one says "You look like a boy" i would take that as an inult but if they say "You look like a cute boy" then it is a compliment...

it matters if the person saying it was meaning it to be an insult...

I don't think that's a compliment at all. If you're a girl, you should look like a girl unless you're intentionally trying to look like a guy. If it's not obvious, I'm a guy.

I definitely would be insulted if someone said I look like a girl. No way would I want to appear that feminine.

what elden said.

If someone mistook me for a girl I would probably change my hair, diet, clothes....pretty much re-evaluate my whole life.

if someone mistook me for a guy (even a cute one) i wouldn't be happy. lets face it, cute is in the eye of the beholder, but being mistaken for a whole different gender is not that flattering.

for me it's not a compliment Unsure

when i was little (7yrs old or something) i had pretty short hair... and that's why all kinds of aunts mistook me for a boy all the time Sad

they were like "oh~ what a cute lil boy"
Crazy

it totally pissed me off ...
since then i keep my hair long Whistling

I tend to find androgynous people to be very attractive, or at the very least very intriguing. But I understand that most people don't.

I think Terra Naomi, this youtube rock star, looks a lot like an effeminate man and I am very fascinated with the way she looks. Personally I wouldn't want to be confused for a man, though.

I am not androgynous... some ppl just don't look carefully. I didn't mind it that much when I was younger hanging with a group of boys.

I hate getting called 'Sir' by accident... just because I am wearing a cap and a jacket where you can't see my boobs. Cussing

You should see the person's face when they realized I am female. pale

Lol it depends... I wouldn't like to be called a boy, but I don't think I would ever be mistaken for one (long hair, big boobs and curves can't be mistaken right?).
However I have a friend who gets mistaken for a boy a lot! I remember this one time there we were eating outside and a little girl approached us and asked her "Are you a girl or a boy?" and my friend replied "We'll never get to the point where you'll have to know". But the girl kept asking. "What do you think I am?" "A boy..." "You miss! I'm a girl!" But this little girl kept insisting that my friend was a boy saying "If you were a girl you would have long hair and these" and she pointed to my boobs. I almost died in laughter. "I told you I'm a girl! Do you think all girls look the same?" In the end I don't think that kid believed her but thanks to the misunderstand we had a really good time. When I asked my friend how she felt about it she said: " I was pissed that she wouldn't believe me, but I find it quite amusing being mistaken for a boy." However she hates it when people mistake her for her brother!

I've never been mistaken for a guy and I would never ever want to be mistaken for one, no matter if I'm being perceived as a cute guy. I would think that something was wrong with either my appearance or the person's eyesight.

Of course its not a compliment. Unless you dress/act like a guy and want that kind of compliment.
